I bought an aluminium Cannondale Touring bike back in '98. It was an
ST1000 from memeory. I found it uncomfortable. So I changed the seat, the
stem (two or three times), the handlebars (three or four times) , the seat
post, the pedals, the tyres, added mudguards (fenders), mudflaps and

I purchased a Cannondale touring bike some twenty years ago. I was
dissatisfied with the set up of the bike and resorted to Rivendell to
change the bars, seat post and saddle. After a lilltle while, I swapped
out the stem, another set of bars, the bell and bought some pretty bottle
cages.
Fare thee well, Patrick, it has been a pleasure.

Great build from a choice selection of parts. I particularly like the
saddle. I'm contemplating how to rebuild my beach cruiser, a Specialised
